Print Portfolio Review

THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED. WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED BY DECEMBER 31, 2012.

Designers have competition fatigue. That’s because design competitions almost always work the same way: you enter to win a little bit of exposure for your work. Print‘s new Portfolio Review is different.

This is your opportunity to meet one of the top designers in the country—Mirko Ilić, Natasha Jen, Debbie Millman, Scott Stowell or Jessica Walsh—and have them offer personal guidance on your work! Enter today!

RECOGNITION:

Every entry will be featured in an online gallery, where it will be seen by thousands of designers, art directors, and others in the industry. Our panel of judges will choose five winners for an incredible prize: a trip to San Francisco next June to attend the 2013 HOW Design Live conference and to meet one-on-one with one of the judges for advice on your work. One additional winner will be chosen by popular vote in the online gallery.

Any design work that was created or published between January 1, 2009, and October 31, 2012.

HOW TO ENTER

You can enter online or mail a Mac-formatted CD or flash drive with digital images, along with the entry form, to the address below. You may submit up to ten digital images per entry (2 MB per image). If you are selected as a finalist, you may be asked to send additional images. If you are entering by mail, please include two copies of the entry form with your payment.
